A few politics notes

A few political notes:

This story is encouraging on many levels -- clergy are giving far more to Dems this year than Republicans. In particular, Obama is far ahead of the next two closest individuals, with $110K versus Romney's $39K and Huckabee's $23K.

The Bush administration's idea of a "victory" in the War on TerrorTM, domestic edition.

Hillary keeps hinting about having dirt on Obama. It really does reflect badly on her campaign.

The rhetoric versus the reality: Bush demands right to torture, even as he loudly declaims platitudes about how "we don't torture".

Re Bali: if it's in the footnotes, can they just ignore it?
